Could the Add data file size limit for Supported formats be increased?
Reason
The current file size will accommodate small projects up to around a 1km squared, where larger imports are required for larger areas then this likely to run into difficulty.
Example
Where supplementary planning guidance is asking for tree 'Canopy Cover Requirements' these requirements be calculated using Bluesky Combined National Tree and Hedge Map that includes ground cover.
Would be great if users could import larger file sizes to meet the needs of larger projects.
Many thanks for your consideration.
The size limitation is set by the REST API that the Add Data widget utilizes. We'll discuss potential improvements with the team.

Hi Tian, thank you for that information. I have also been wondering if it would be possible to increase the file size limit for the Add Data widget. My workflows are currently impacted due to this size limitation.
I was wondering if you have any ideas about potential workarounds for this issue? Or perhaps you know of a customized widget/enhancement that someone has built in order to increase the Add Data widget file upload size? Your response is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Eliza K
Hi @TianWen & Esri,
I wanted to follow up regarding the file size limitations for the Add Data widget in Experience Builder. Currently, the limit is 2 MB for shapefiles and 10 MB for other file types.
Would it be possible to increase these limits?
We work with several Federal clients whose end-users often need to add data to both Government-only and Public Experience Builder apps. Unfortunately, the current size restrictions make it difficult for users to upload nationwide datasets. While we understand that some layers may be too large to support, increasing the shapefile limit to 30 MB and other file types to 50 MB would significantly improve usability for many of our end-users.
Thanks for considering this request!
